Mercy. If you could look back at your whole life, would you sum it up with this one word? Ray shares about growing up in the turbulent 1960s and his profound conversion experience from a religious Catholic to a born-again follower of Christ. This episode traces turning points with Christ over career, adoption of a child under God’s sovereignty, and serving God full-time in America and Europe. Through it all, it was conversations with God that illuminated each step of Ray’s journey to become a vessel of mercy unto honor for God’s glory.
